As part of my course, we were tasked with exploring/ executing a form of animated type. For my contribution, I wanted to explore marking something fluid as it comes into and out of the screen. I mainly aimed to make something that would work, and that was simple. 
When starting the project, I mainly worked with the animate tool to enable 3D per character set. playing around with the start, end and offset parameters. as well as scale and rotation. I also used an anchor point to stop any unwanted movement in the text.

Adding a little something
Even though the type of animation is finished, I wanted to add something to give it some fluidity. I decided to use the pen tool and make a couple of lines which I then animated using a trim path before adding the ruff edge preset to make it a bit more lively.
